The Cup Match fate of promising Somerset Cricket Club all-rounder Jacobi Robinson ? heavily tipped to be on the verge of breaking into the champion?s team this year ? could now rest solely in the hands of a Bermuda Cricket Board disciplinary committee, has learned.

Teenager Robinson has been summoned before the Board on Monday to face charges of bringing the game into disrepute, though BCB officials refused yesterday to divulge any details over the matter, it is understood to stem from interviews Robinson did earlier this year with this newspaper concerning medical costs incurred while overseas attending Port Elizabeth International Cricket Academy in South Africa.

If Robinson successfully gains a spot in Somerset?s Cup Match team tonight, but is then found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute on Monday, the youngster could possibly be sidelined next Thursday and Friday through suspension.

?Jacobi (Robinson) is scheduled to appear before a disciplinary committee on Monday,? confirmed BCB chief executive Neil Speight yesterday.

?He (Robinson) is going up for bringing the game into disrepute which could be a number of things. But I can?t speak any more on the matter because it would pervert the laws of natural justice if I were to go any further. It could completely ruin any chance of this young man having a fair hearing if we were to talk any more on the matter.?

Robinson, meanwhile, could become the second cricketer in two-years to be banned merely for speaking to on matters concerning the BCB, as the dictatorial side of the Board has again reared its ugly head.

Somerset team-mate Wendell White received a four-match ban after doing an interview shortly after returning from the Americas Championships in Argentina in 2002 with the senior national squad.

BCB chairman of selectors Arnold Manders and Western Stars team-mate Jermaine Postlethwaite also nearly landed themselves in hot water with the Board last year after both voiced their concerns to

Earlier this year, Robinson encountered difficulties in South Africa when an injury was first detected to his lower back during a musculo-skeletal test. It was later discovered to be a ?pre-existing? injury that had never been ?disclosed? to either the BCB or local physiotherapists during appointments funded by the BCB.

After Robinson was forced to fork up additional cash to have scans administered, the youngster threatened to abort the course prematurely and return home ? a decision which seemed to ruffle a few feathers on the Board.

?I think it is best to return home because at the moment all I am allowed to do in the nets is walk through my action (bowling), and that is really frustrating. It is also very costly to have my back repeatedly scanned. All my money is being spent on therapy,? Robinson said earlier this year.

The Board then hit back at the youngster in a stern written press release.

The release read: ?If Jacobi returns not only will he be doing himself, his family, the BCB and Bermuda a grave disservice, he will also be squandering a huge investment of time and money that could have been made available to another individual young player.

?The BCB expects that if Jacobi chooses unilaterally to leave the academy that he should be held accountable on his return.?

Questions, meanwhile, have been raised as to why it has taken the Board until mid-summer to deal with a matter that occurred last January.

Robinson, who has been in good nick this season with both bat and ball, was dropped from the senior national team earlier this spring for failing to attend practice sessions and was recently axed from the Under 23 national team due to fly off to Jamaica today.

The promising all-rounder was a noticeable absentee during the Under 23 national team?s warm-up match against the visiting Lloyds Cricket Club at the National Sports Centre last month.

Robinson also found himself immersed in controversy last weekend when Eastern Counties officials judged the player ineligible to play for St.David?s just before the Islander?s crucial fixture with champions Bailey?s Bay at Sea Breeze Oval.

Robinson, who was allowed to suit up for St.David?s last year, previously resided in St.David?s with father Wayne (Spike) Richardson who also represented the Islanders in the Eastern Counties competition.
